The Remington Core-Lokt 243 Winchester 100-grain pointed soft point ammunition delivers proven terminal performance for medium game hunting. This classic hunting round features Remington's original controlled expansion bullet design that has accounted for more big game than any other rifle ammunition.
What Makes This Different
The Core-Lokt bullet construction locks the lead core to the copper jacket through a proprietary bonding process, preventing core-jacket separation upon impact. This design ensures 95% weight retention and creates a mushroom expansion pattern twice the original diameter. The pointed soft point profile maintains flat trajectory and energy retention compared to round nose alternatives, delivering 20% better ballistic coefficient for extended range accuracy.
Key Features
- 100-grain pointed soft point bullet with locked core construction
- Muzzle velocity of 2,960 fps with 1,945 ft-lbs energy

Field performance shows consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy from quality bolt-action rifles with proper scope mounting. The 100-grain bullet weight provides optimal balance between velocity and penetration for whitetail deer, antelope, and similar-sized game at ranges up to 300 yards. Weather-sealed primer and case mouth prevent moisture infiltration during extended outdoor exposure.
